Chapter 242:
“Let’s progress together in this industry. Allowing one entity to dominate isn’t just. Let's uphold equity and
collective advancement.”
“You're suggesting this isn’t about the bid, but we all know there's more to it.
You might be scheming something sinister. The Bennett family has a reputation for playing dirty to secure a
contract.”
With a fortune on the line, tensions were sky-high. No one was willing to back down or risk being outbid.
A minor concession for goodwill was manageable, but on a billion-dollar deal? No one was eager to absorb such a
hit. Voices escalated, clashing in the room, their pointed accusations giving Alexander no chance to defend
himself. Defeated, he withdrew his seat, his expression one of sheer frustration. He worried Daniela might
misread his intentions.
Since their divorce, his place in her life had felt increasingly shaky.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, he was resolute in seeking a moment alone with her. He needed to unload the burdens weighing heavily on
his heart.
Daniela was on her way downstairs after lunch break when the abrupt buzz of her phone halted her mid-step.
She mentioned the interruption to Lillian before stepping outside to answer the call.
As she greeted the caller with a crisp “Hello,” a series of footsteps resounded behind her.
When she turned and saw Alexander approaching, the pieces clicked into place instantly.
“You've really outdone yourself. A whole new phone number just to reachbefore the bidding? Truly
impressive.”
Alexander caught the icy edge in Daniela’s eyes as she scrutinized him. With the bidding meeting looming, he
felt a surge of urgency.
“Letexplain, Daniela.”
Daniela’s calm demeanor remained intact as she offered a small nod.
“Pine, go ahead.”
In Alexander's memories, Daniela had always been the sensitive young woman who felt neglected by his
inattention. However, the woman standing before him now was a stark contrast to his memories. Clad in a sharp
business suit, her hair slicked back into a neat bun, she radiated the authority of a seasoned CEO.
Her gaze was cool, detached, as she awaited his forthcoming stumble of words.
In that moment, as Alexander faced her, a wave of discomfort washed over him. Daniela, once familiar and
close, now seemed like a stranger, her distance palpable and chilling.
“Weren't you going to explain?” Daniela pressed on, her voice tinged with casual indifference.
Her curiosity was piqued; she was eager to uncover the kind of elaborate excuses Alexander might unveil. Just as
anticipated, the words started flowing from him.
“Daniela, | realize my visit today might unsettle you, but I can’t stand the thought of becoming just another
insignificant nobody. Moreover, | believe you're not merely an echo of your father—you possess your own vision,
your own strengths, your own dignity. How could you possibly be content with your future partner relegated to a
mere househusband? Con, you're underestimatingand yourself.”
His words flowed with a passionate intensity, nearly swaying Daniela’s initial skepticism. Seeing her stunned
expression, Alexander felt a surge of hope and continued, “Daniela, | understand you. | know you better than you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmknow yourself.
You're not someone who craves power.
You may appear strong and decisive now, but | know deep down, you still long to be a little girl.” His statement
had the power to thaw the resolve of any woman, regardless of age.
Internally, Daniela couldn’t help but admire the performance. Incredible! What a display of eloquence! Alexander
continued, “That's precisely why I'm here today. I'm asking for a chance to stand by your side. | envision a future
where, when people look at us, they won't dismissas unworthy. Instead, they'll see us as a perfect couple,
affirming that your choice was impeccable!”
